RE: Dateline NBC TMI story - A different evaluation
The next show was introduced with a picture of a pile of guns. The agenda
here is control of those guns that [persons use to] kill persons.
While I agree that a show centered around a person who was reporting for
Rolling Stone at TMI and was involved in the China Syndrome production could
be classified as entertainment, the political agenda and narrow one-sided
perspective is clear, (and underscored by the obvious editing that
interrupted consecutive related sentences in the broadcast to slant the
audience inference).

And I suppose the next feature on Dateline, which is on the shooter who
fired from the tower at the University of Texas, is to frighten people about
going to a university? Or to be afraid of walking near tall towers? Or to
going to Texas?
The purpose of these shows is to attract viewers, entertain them (?) and
hope they buy the sponsors products. There is a propensity on this list
server to think that anything that is not pro-nuclear is a plot. Look at
the show for what it was, not what you think it is.

. . .
This production was clearly a politically motivated effort to induce further
unfounded fears of a beneficial technology that has been improved vastly
beyond that which actually worked (despite human intervention to override
its controls) prior to the improvements implemented post-TMI!
